Thread about why this crypto crash might be “the big one” 🧵

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

GREAT reporting here, although I admit the headline made me chuckle. “Could Tether do more to stop financial crime?” Well, yes they could stop committing it, for one.

Thankfully this has nothing to do with “crypto mining”…right?

2/ This is what you could call a "Plausibly deniable dog whistle." In the FBI, we learn about gang tattoos and symbols. 88 turns out to be a REALLY common tattoo on Neo Nazis. Sometimes as 14/88 or 88/14. What does it mean?

Wolverines!

probably not a great time to start watching The Man In The High Castle ?

I mean, who hasnt listened to that guy and said "Youre not the President" "you need to shush your mouth" Kids say it like it is. and often repeat what their parents say in private

If you want to know why this is happening, as someone who literally used to read Al Qaeda's communications for a living I can only come up with one reason: Trump *wants* to provoke another 9/11. Now, the question of why he wants this is left as an exercise for the reader.

"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country" this is not a (typing) drill

have to wonder why Livelsberger left the letters in the cybertruck...as theyd more than likely have been burned up

France's President Emmanuel Macron on Monday alleged that X platform owner Elon Musk is interfering in elections in multiple countries. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/europe...

this wont end up well. worse than scanning eyeballs "Pi Network hopes to be different. It uses a mobile app, drawing on the relatively small computing power of cellphones and tablets to collectively mine for #cryptocurrency" www.thecooldown.com/green-busine...

there's a storm coming

the U.S. Department of the Treasury, has confirmed that Chinese hackers were able to “access certain unclassified documents” during a Dec. 8 attack www.forbes.com/sites/daveyw...

The U.S. Treasury Department said a state-sponsored Chinese hacking operation was able to access third-party software... www.nbcnews.com/tech/securit...

a Les Grossman quote by Elon. not even original. Elon quoting a vile, rich megalomaniacal character from a movie that satires VCs is just the fourth wall being shattered. and as Tom Cruise wrote those "step back and F* yourself in the face" lines....

Elon rage-quoting Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder is surreal (and I hope the screenwriter sues him lol )

In a letter to all 100 U.S. Senators, William Webster, the only person ever to lead both the FBI and CIA, wrote that neither Patel nor Gabbard meets the demands of top intelligence jobs. At 100 and still at the top of his game, Webster deserves to be heeded. www.politico.com/live-updates...

The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are “primarily involved in government or political activity.” apnews.com/article/unit...

this is why the worst in crypto gleefully attach themselves to the maga agenda - because you are the liquidity

On this day, we remember the real Grinch who stole Christmas: Joe Takagi of the Nakatomi Corporation who forced his employees to have a no-children office party on Christmas Eve. For ripping apart families on Christmas, 1988, Joe paid the ultimate price.

Please share. Matt Gaetz is no Brian Beute. x.com/gal_suburban...

Brian is a true patriot. the smear campaign by #Gaetz and his cabal is disturbing. and should be further exposed

@davidpakman.bsky.social is Musk the Miscavige in this cult power play?

look up the original 1935 film

Love it when bookshops or libraries arrange their books appropriately...

@aoc.bsky.social why not force a vote in both chambers to remove the "aid and comfort" disability currently in 14th Amendment section 3? it would require 2/3 in both chambers. expose the hypocrisy. force the Chief Justice to acknowledge the disability stands. Inauguration swearing-in will be 🔥

bluesky needs to get rid of investors like Brock Pierce. his history isnt consistent with the values most came to bluesky to uphold

@glennkirschner.bsky.social Glenn if Rep Kay Granger (Tx) is mentally unable to fulfill her role in the House, will this (at least momentarily) put the GOP at 218? does her status affect any votes she has cast?

@briantylercohen.bsky.social the "Survivor" creator, a show where people are voted "off the island" is the new US envoy to the island nation of Great Britain?

① A quick internet story. In 1999 I was given a job offer at a place called DEN. They offered a HUGE amount of money for me. It was so tempting. But, I had never interviewed. Or spoken with a single person there. A friend worked there and told them they should hire me, and then I got this letter.

I am a reminder. I am the warning. The following are things that MAGA’s January 6th people did. To be clear: what they did is bad. #Unpardonables (Receipts h/t @macfarlanenews.bsky.social @jordanonrecord.bsky.social @ryanjreilly.com and others, in this thread on X: x.com/thejan6plaqu...)

1/5 Imagine a crazy idea for a moment. Call it a starting point. Imagine if every time an eviction order was served, it was *required* to include an offer to stay in public-funded apartments for a time. Imagine that the cost to the recipient would be... whatever they could afford.

I asked Grok on X if Elon is qualified to be doing budget analysis. Grok's reply, below
